Anniversary of Glencoe Massacre 2/13, missed this year but not forgotten

[ForresterModern]

Although I was busy working and not able to go kilted on Saturday or today, I would like to take a moment now to remember those of the clan of MacDonald of Glencoe lost in the predawn massacre at the hands of government troops on February 13, 1692. 38 killed, and another 40 men women and children who died of exposure after being driven out into the winter hills around Glencoe. I do not wish to get into the politics or history of the goings on at that time, or to minimize the similar tragedies that were rampant throughout Scotland and her clans and families during the many centuries of strife, merely to remember this one instance, this one clan and their grave sacrifice, today. Belatedly I shall be wearing their colors tomorrow in remembrance. Bless their souls.

Cuimhnich----Remember

Nec Tempore Nec Fato-----Neither Time Nor Fate
